Underpinning
Foundation underpinning is the process of strengthening the existing foundation by extending its depth so it rests on more supportive soil, or its load is distributed across a more expansive area. A building typically needs underpinning when cracks are wider than ¼ inch, and there are signs of a foundation damage . The most common underpinning method is the mass pour method, where sections are excavated in sequence to a pre-established depth below the footing, and extra concrete is placed in each pit.
If you have noticed any signs of structural damage in your home or business, or if you are looking to purchase the home or business, we recommend you have the professional evaluation from are experienced team at Capital Foundation & Sons Ltd who can review the structured and integrity of your foundation
